Holy **** these linesmen are ****! The ref has no chance when such bad line running is implemented! For both sides by the way not just us!
i completely agree with this! even when the players from both teams were in their own half they were called offside, absolutely ****!!
That fat Cnut was totally ****e, the big fat lazy barstool should not be running the line! I could hear his fukcing heart beating from where I was sat, no wonder he couldn't make the right decisions his brain was clearly starved of oxygen. Useful fat lazy twat cost us tonight.
Another referee whose performance was so inconsistent it was unbelievable, why can we not just have one referee who can do the same things for both sides.
I was only watching online but the referee for the 70 minutes or so the stream was working (it went to Belgium and England under somethings after 25 minutes until half-time) seemed consistent. As others have said it seemed to be more linesmen's decisions that were causing problems.
There were a few stupid decisions. The Fryatt one on the keeper was nothing, missing the foul on McLean for the goal which was very obvious, the Hobbs one at the end (given simply because it was in the box rather than for any foul), there was one free kick Blackpool got on the edge of our box for Oli running past their player, the free kick they got in the first minute for Chester daring to be behind Bednar and most annoyingly a typical 'clever ref' moment when someone on our right wing was absolutely wiped out and he gave a free kick even though we still had the ball but didn't even warn the player. If he's going to stop the game and halt our attack you expect some kind of punishment. By not booking him but stopping our attack the free kick just rewarded them for a shocking foul! Then a few minutes later a remarkably similar tackle by Evans is a booking. But it's not like we've been getting inconsistent bookings all season or anything...
I can't remember the rest specifically (I've had a few cans tonight), but that one was definitely the linesman that gave it. Hobbs was shown in a replay shouting over to him disagreeing with him over it.
